Share ; Ok, but what about simply firing our trash toward the moon? “You definitely don’t want to send it around the moon,” said Crassidis, “because it could crash onto the moon, right? You want our junk to pile up on the moon?” (For the record, dear reader, I do not.) “Even Mars, something like that,” Crassidis explained, could backfire someday. “You’ve got to think 200 years from now, and hopefully we’ll be colonizing [the red planet]. You don’t want junk there too,” he...
Using local energy sources such as lake water, wood waste or even garbage to heat and cool buildings is one way for communities to cut their greenhouse gas emissions — the goal of this week's UN climate summit. In district energy systems, instead of having an individual heating and cooling system for each building, multiple buildings are hooked up to a central system — similar to how buildings are connected to the municipal water service instead of each one relying on individual wells. Heat ...
The Chicago Park District is trying out new solar-powered trash compactors on some beaches this summer. The effort might solve three growing problems at once: unsightly garbage, seagull droppings a...
Now that solar has been a widespread, mainstream source of energy for a few decades, many solar panels are reaching the end of their lifetimes. Ideally, we’d want these clean energy technologies, which have played a huge role in slowing the pace of climate change, to be just as benign when they’re done harvesting the power of the sun. But that’s not often the case, says Meng Tao, professor at Arizona State University who studies terawatt-scale solar technologies. It turns out that what mak...
Popkin hopes landfill solar can buck that trend, in part because little else can be done with the land — in other words, revitalizing the landfill won’t mean there’s suddenly new...
you can build solar farms instead of farm produce. In Korea, solar power generation... rural solar plant and garbage landfill are attracting attention. In the case of a farming solar power...
In other words, it might be the BigBelly solar-powered trash compactor. Capital investment... Since the compactor fills up more slowly than a garbage can, it doesn't need to be emptied as...
The Earth's magnetic field can produce strange and beautiful auroras, but when they start drifting away from the poles and down towards the equator, it's a sign that a serious solar storm is underw...
